Try for once to justify the meaning of your existence as it were a posteriori by setting yourself an aim, a goal… an exalted and noble ‘to this end.’ Perish in pursuit of this and only this.

I love him who seeks to create over and beyond himself and thus perishes.
I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.
Better the whole people perish than that injustice be done.
